Synopsis
Joaquim Pinto lives with HIV and HCV for almost 20 years. What Now? Remind me is the notebook of a year of clinical trials with toxic drugs and not yet approved for HCV. An eclectic and open reflection about time and memory, epidemics and globalization, survival beyond the expected, dissension and the absolute love. In a back and forth between the present and the past, the film is also a tribute to friends who left and those who remain.
Joaquim Pinto (Porto,1957). He worked as sound mixer in more than 100 films working with directors such as Manoel de Oliveira, Raul Ruiz, Werner Schroeter and André Techiné. He produced nearly 30 films between 1987 and 1996, namely João César Monteiro’s “Recollections of the Yellow House” and “God’s Comedy”, both awarded at the Venice Film Festival.
